Berea, OH (SportsNetwork.com) – The Cleveland Browns have signed quarterback Caleb Hanie, who could start Sunday’s game against New England because of injuries to Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell.<\/p>\n
Weeden suffered a concussion during this past Sunday’s game against Jacksonville, while Campbell has not been cleared to practice because of a concussion he sustained the week before against Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
The other quarterback on the Browns’ roster is Alex Tanney, who was signed off the practice squad of the Dallas Cowboys last week.<\/p>\n
Hanie, in his sixth NFL season, appeared in 10 games with four starts with the Chicago Bears from 2008-11. He spent last season as the third quarterback with the Denver Broncos and did not take a snap.<\/p>\n
The Colorado State product saw his most extensive playing time in 2011 after Jay Cutler suffered a broken thumb late in the season. He completed 51-of-102 passes for 613 yards with three touchdowns and nine interceptions in his six games that season. The Bears, though, lost each of his four starts.<\/p>\n
Hanie, overall, has thrown for 679 yards with three scores and 10 picks in 10 games.<\/p>\n
The Browns opened a roster spot by placing linebacker Brandon Magee on injured reserve. Magee appeared in eight games this season and notched three special teams tackles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
